What are two ways to mine coal?
Coal is mined by two methods: surface or 'opencast' mining or underground or 'deep' mining.The choice of mining method largely depends on the geology of the coal deposit. Underground mining currently accounts for a bigger share of world coal production than opencast; although in several important coal producing countries surface mining is more common.
Who digs coal out of a mine?
Miners are the workers who dig coal out of a mine. They use equipment such as drills and shovels to extract coal from underground deposits. Mining is a physically demanding and sometimes dangerous job that requires specific training and safety measures.
Describe 3 different kinds of mines?
Coal mine: A type of mine where coal is extracted from underground or open-pit mines to be used as a source of energy. Gold mine: A type of mine where gold ore is extracted and processed to produce gold, often found in underground mines or as open-pit mines. Diamond mine: A type of mine where diamonds are extracted and processed from volcanic pipes or alluvial deposits, with some mines operating underground while others are open-pit mines.
What type of mine may be used to remove coal from a coal seam deep underground?
A longwall mining technique is often used to remove coal from deep underground coal seams. It involves a shearer cutting the coal along the face of the seam while hydraulic roof supports move forward, allowing the roof to collapse behind the shearer.
How do you get coal out of the ground or from the seabed?
Coal is typically extracted from the ground through mining methods such as underground mining or surface mining. In underground mining, tunnels are dug to reach coal seams deep underground, while surface mining involves removing layers of soil and rock to access coal deposits near the surface. Seabed coal extraction is a relatively new and experimental process that involves using specialized equipment to mine coal deposits on the ocean floor.
What is the temperature is it underground for a coal miner?
that really depends on the depth of the mine and the ventilation, so there`s no absolute answer...
What is a coal mine?
A coal mine is a place where coal is dug out of the earth. Some mines are completely underground and depend on tunnels to take miners to the coal. Other places, known as strip mines, are open pits in the ground where the coal is dug out.
What type of mining is used to mine coal?
The type of mining used to mine coal is called surface mining or underground mining. Surface mining involves removing layers of soil, rock, and vegetation to access coal deposits near the surface. Underground mining involves creating tunnels to access coal deposits deep underground.
What process is used to mine coal underground?
Underground mines consist of a series of parallel and interconnecting tunnels from which the coal is cut and removed with special machinery. The process is complex and sometimes dangerous.
Where do you mine coal at the surface or underground?
Geological conditions of the earth surface or UG surface decide where we mined coal. And also depth or thickness of coal seam.
What was the underground mine average lifespan?
I think it was in 2000.

What is the raven coal mine?
the raven coal mine is an underground coal mine that has been proposed 5 km west of Buckley Bay on Vancouver island. 88% of the coal minned will be used for steele making, and will be shipped off by truck or rail to port alberni then loaded onto a ship and sent off to asian markets.
What is a coal mine called?
A coal mine is typically referred to as a coal mine.
Is there much water in coal mines?
Will depend on the mine, but in general, underground coal mines may be very wet. One of the first uses of early steam engines was operating mine pumps to control water levels.
